+1 on the "buy more bays / larger drives if you can afford it" - there's nothing wrong with leaving even the majority of the bays unpopulated, and it's always easier to populate an empty bay than it is to buy another NAS when you find your existing bays weren't enough.
if it helps in estimating your "content storage footprint" in the long term, my library (~7000 movies / ~2000 TV Shows / ~4200 Music Albums / ~3300 Music Videos) takes up about 50TB in a mixture of codecs (h264 / hevc / AV1 / FLAC / AAC / etc).
